It ignored the coaching carousel, the erosion of women\u2019s and Olympic sports, and the mounting financial deficits putting small and mid-sized programs and HBCUs at risk. Calling this a solution to the challenges facing college sports was always a stretch, and pulling it from the floor only confirms how unbalanced it was.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s time for Republicans to return to the negotiating table. Dozens of Democrats who support a bipartisan path forward outlined in my College Athletics Reform Act stand ready to work in good faith on durable reforms that strengthen athletes\u2019 rights, support all schools, and secure the future of college sports.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-06T14:24:52Z", "2026-04-06T15:56:12Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://trahan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3692"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.7254559099674225, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
